Is it legal to play a match in professional competition without shoes on?

Hi Justin,

Yes you can although I haven't seen it done for a long time.  I do remember the Papua New Guinea team in the 1970s playing without shoes. They were just more comfortable in bare feet.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
